# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 15 minutes, making weekday mornings actually manageable.
  • The protein combo keeps you satisfied through the afternoon without the heaviness of a big meal.
  • One bowl, one fork—cleanup is basically nonexistent.
02 -
  • Don't skip the lemon juice—it's not just flavor, it's chemical insurance against brown avocado within minutes.
  • Overseasoning is impossible here because both eggs and avocado are fairly neutral, so taste and adjust freely.
03 -
  • Keep your avocado on the counter for a day or two before making this—it needs to be perfectly ripe, not rock hard or already browning.
  • If you're making this for someone else, assemble it on their plate just before serving because the clock starts ticking the moment avocado meets air.
